Memoirs of an Expat at heart - 1 year anniversary edition

The one year anniversary of being stateside has hit the 22 of December

I wanted to do this journal on that date, but didn't have the chance.

So, I'll get on with the Memorable moments now.

My time living and working in London was the single best time of the whole of my life.

Never have I experience so much in a 6 month period.

My most memorable experiences in the Isles were. .

Having to find a job

Having to find a place to live

Witnessing a disoriented East Ender questioning outloud and profoundly, going down the pavement, "Can you tell me the way to

get to Paddington Green?" That was only one question in the series of his "Paddington Green" questions. And, I think this was

in the Earl's Court area.

Studying Spiritual things in Russell Square, then later on in Kensington Gardens Square when I moved flat

Going to a Porteguese Convention

Going down Regent's Canal from Little Venice to Camden Town Market

Going to Greenwich and standing on the Prime Meridan of the World

Walking in the pedestrian tunnel from Greenwich to the Isle of Dogs

Seeing Much Ado About Nothing at Shakespeare's Globe

Seeing Julia Stiles in a 2 person / 1 set play

Scanning Vanilla Ice's & his daughters tickets when he came to The Eye

Mark McGraff coming to the Eye

The President of Botswana coming to the Eye

Giving English tourists directions

Giving American tourists directions with a London accent

Going to Pub comedy nights

Doing improv at a Pub comedy night and being asked to be a regular

Going to North Wales with just a small backpack and no booked hotel

Going to Dublin with a small suitcase and no booked hotel

Almost running out of cash in Dublin, having just enough to take the coach to the airport for the plane back to London

Having to borrow a tenner from a workmate so I could have something to eat that night

Witnessing a drunk trying to run after and flag down buses where there wasn't a bus stop

A busking Blues trio called The BooWeevils

All the Busking I miss

I guess I'll be updating this journal and just post now. There's so much too reminesce about.

I hope to be going abroad again in the near enough future. Possibilities might be Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, or Czech

Republic. We'll see. Right now, I have to establish myself with a little money. But, I am looking to eventually teach English

as a foreign language. Or maybe my current Real Estate job will open the door to work as an International property

specialist. Yes, my obsession with the other worlds is blaringly apparent. Sorry, sorry.
